"Handcrafted Chocolate Worth the Splurge Max Chocolatier, a boutique chocolate shop in the heart of Lucerne, creates exquisite hand-made chocolate that is meant to be savored. The store is located on a high-end shopping street near the lake. While I normally don't gravitate to "fancy" chocolate boutiques, something about this place beckoned. It is an intimate shop and the friendly staff is happy to explain the types of chocolate that best suit your preferences. Max Chocolatier uses local, 100% natural ingredients, so the chocolate products vary by season: there are spring, summer, fall and winter "collections" with different ingredients and recipes. In addition to basic chocolates (milk, dark, hazelnut, caramel, orange, etc.), there are also more exotic types with ingredients such as pumpkin, chili, and edelweiss providing some international flavor. Beautifully, lushly-packaged boxes of chocolate line the shelves. Clearly these sweet tidbits are lovingly crafted to please all your senses. While not inexpensive, each small bite delivers a rich, intense taste with a luxurious mouth-feel. Well worth it! www.maxchocolatier.com"

I love chocolate but I wasn’t impressed with the chocolate I had here. I think they use very high quality ingredients and the shop and layout is definitely very nice and fancy but I think either you need to have a very good chocolate tasting palate to enjoy this chocolate or maybe it’s truly just not as good as the price suggests it would be. For 8 small chocolates (pictures attached) I think I paid an insane 25 or 30 Franks. I only enjoyed two of the chocolates that had caramel inside and some fig jam? On my trip I also bought milk, dark and hazelnut chocolate bars from Migros which I thought were much more fairly priced and tastes much better. Maybe it’s just my preference or taste is not as refined but I was not impressed and could not justify spending this much money on these chocolates. If you are not a chocolate connoisseur probably don’t get your chocolate from here.

We stopped by the Max boutique after taking the chocolate making and tasting class at the event and design studio. We wanted to stock up on treats to take home! The gentleman behind the counter was so friendly and helpful and was delighted to hear that we had just come from the tasting. He gave us several additional chocolates to try in an attempt to surprise us with something we had missed at the tasting. My husband got an affogato and we bought a couple of boxes of dark chocolate to take home and enjoy. I especially recommend the strawberry and lime dark chocolate truffles and the cherry hazelnut.

Excellent experience. We did a tour of the chocolate making facility and then a wine tasting.

This review is for their dark hot chocolate - oh my goodness, it was the best that we had during our time in Switzerland! Amazing stuff. We got here just as they were closing, but the nice lady at the counter was super kind and still let us have some, and I'm so grateful for that (thank you!).

We wanted to do a chocolate making workshop but they weren't willing to accommodate for two people, although they had time slot. They only offered paying for 4, and we were not willing to do that. They should consider offering workshops for couples. Chocolate tastes exquisite, knowledgable staff.

Unbelievable shop! This is what I imagine Swiss Chocolate is about. Artisan chocolate at its finest! The lady serving us today (I regret not asking her name) was unbelievably amazing! Extremely knowledgeable with amazing English and was generous with a few samples. Ignore the prices and go here and buy some of the best chocolate you will ever taste!

Lovely place. The dark hot chocolate is absolutely incredible with a bit of whipped cream. However, only get the hot chocolate if it is pre-made on the big jug. If it is made specially for you it doesn't taste quite as good.

Decided to go with this chocolatier as our first in Switzerland and was largely disappointed.. 🍫 The truffles we tried were the house favourites, the 68% and 74% variant - not to our liking though it was very well made with a liquidy filling. 🍦 The chocolate ice cream sorbet was one of the worst we ever had.. it had a tinge of sour taste to it and was nowhere close to being a rich chocolate ice cream For 12 CHF for the above, we don’t feel that it’s worth the money based on our preferences for chocolate.
